Thanks all - you could used to get half sleeve as an alternative to short sleeve when I first started my working career in the 000's (okay the 90's). I'll keep shopping around, otherwise am also looking into arm reduction procedures, similar to the other reduction procedure I had done the other year

What length were the sleeves on the 1990's half-sleeve shirts? Longer or shorter than the short-sleeve ones?

Also, what's the benefit of one over the other, may I ask?

If they happen to lose any eye whilst involved with production, they even get a paid half day

With Spring in the air, I want to stock up on my work shirts. I don't want long sleeve and would prefer half sleeve as opposed to short sleeve - most of the formal shirt retailers such as TM Lewin, Charles Tyrwhitt, Hawes & Curtis etc only stock long or short sleeve.

So any recommendations where I can get half sleeve from ?

Long sleeves and a pair of scissors?

Seriously, I see loads of short sleeved shirts in charity shops. But maybe there's a good reason they don't sell very well!

This is not my proudest moment of admission.

Grocery shopping in Aldi the other day. Special offers in the aisles every now and again. Saw a shirt, €14. Thought to myself I've got to know. So I bought a couple.

Good grief, looks no bad. Perfect fit and does not need ironing!

Never admit to that.
